As our readers know Facebook and Shoutitout have been a little un friendly with each other recently. Facebook launching Facebook places target Shoutitout and getting a few patents then glancing at Shoutitout because they have something similar to the patent. Well, besides an amzing translation and music (which Facebook doesn't have either of) Shoutitout really doesn't have much to fight back with... in till today. As Mashable readers know Facebook just grabbed a patent for search not targeted at Shoutitout but Shoutitout just grabbed a patent for its Shout box, very much targeting Facebook. We don't think they plan to take legal action even though they could win at this time because if they do then Facebook will launch multiple patent suits agents Shoutitout, but this is probably Shoutitout's way of saying 500,000,000 users or not we will take you on any time any where. Shoutitout is also launching events soon so the advantage may sway to them at any time. Here is the patent sketch for those of you wanting to see it
